| abstract | - It starts where A'Sharad Hett is staying on guard of the ship where he spots Republic forces arriving. He turns to face Crado and Zona Luka who have been held prisoner. As A'Sharad Hett spends his time with them, Zona and Crado reveal their past, and A'Sharad felt sorry, and decided to offer them a chance and return to the light side. Crado and Zona felt that if he ever returned, they would be forgiven. As a squad of clone troopers arrive, A'Sharad frees them. Inside the Republic cruiser, The Nexus, Obi-Wan and Keelyvine interrogate Githany. She tries not to speak, but she slowly stares at Obi-Wan for a moment and reveals evrything to the Jedi about the Sith resurrecting a sith lord that has died thousands of years ago, Exar Kun. Keelyvine and Obi-Wan leave the cell for a moment and discuss this matter with Anakin Skywalker and Siri Tachi. Anakin thinks that's impossible about resurrecting a sith, but Obi-Wan believes that if Exar Kun was resurrected, the galaxy will suffer a major threat and the Clone Wars will still go on. Obi-Wan head inside the cell and asks Githany where he could find the place where Exar would be resurrected. Githany wouldn't tell him, but she would lead them to the place. Obi-Wan didn't like this, but he agrees. Inside the hangar, Ahsoka catches up with Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Siri who were holding Githany as their prisoner. Anakin tells Ahsoka to stay in the ship, believing that it's to dangerous for a padawan. Ahsoka wanted to come, but she agrees until they spot A'Sharad Hett with Zona Luka and Crado. Anakin and Ahsoka ignite their lightsabers, but A'Sharad tells them that he handled the situation. Zona and Crado wanted their offer to help, but Ahsoka and Anakin didn't trust them. Accepting their offer, Zona and Crado travel to the Valley and find Exar Kun's tomb. Walking across the valley, Githany is held by Obi-Wan and leads the group towards the tomb. She looked back at Obi-Wan and explained her reason and her past about how she became a sith. Obi-Wan felt sorry for her, causing Githany to feel a little sorrow. As they reach the Great Sith Temple, Obi-Wan release Githany and tells her to leave until the group were ambushed by Sith Culists. The group battle against the culists while Githany stood still when one of the warriors gave her a lightsaber. When Obi-Wan was kicked to the ground, Githany sees a vision of her lover who was begging her to help him. Githany resists the dark side and saves Obi-Wan. She continues to fight with the group and defeat the culists until the resurrected Kaox Krul appears outside the entrance. Before he could attack, he was stabbed behind by a Zabrak who was revealed to be Sirak, along with his apprentices, Llokay and Yevra. They explained to the group that they didn't want to help resurrect Exar Kun because of their time that they were betrayed and killed by Darth Bane. As the trio leave without helping, the group move inside the tomb until they were ambushed by Tuk'ata hounds. Crado tells them to go while he fights the hounds. He charges when A'Sharad told him to come back. Crado fights for his life, but he is killed when one of the hounds jumped on him, allowing the rest to tear him to pieces. The group managed to enter the chamber when Horis and his culists were preparing the ritual.
